The purpose of life

摘要

Development of large-scale urban regeneration projects is at an all-time high across London, with major works underway in Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Croydon. New developments are repurposing previously industrial sites. Nowhere in London is this more apparent than in Bankside - where the new Tate Modern extension will shortly open, repurposing its industrial heritage as an expanded gallery for modern art. Further south from Tate Modern's riverside location in the area managed by Better Bankside, the local business improvement district (BID), Bankside's neighbourhood is characterised by the mighty Victorian viaducts that run north south, and east west across the area.
